How you can help children this Mandela Day with Ladles of Love

In the spirit of ubuntu, Ladles of Love calls on businesses and South Africans everywhere to put compassion in action this Mandela Day. Under the banner “It’s In Your Hands,” corporate teams and individuals are invited to roll up their sleeves and volunteer to support children in need at Mandela Day flagship events hosted, at DHL Stadium in Cape Town and Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg.

“Volunteering as a team on Mandela Day is about building community, strengthening workplace wellness, and igniting a culture of ubuntu that can uplift our nation.

"At Ladles of Love, we believe volunteering is more than just a good deed – it’s a civic duty and a powerful form of active citizenship. The upside of this is the joy and happiness that doing good brings to people, who love physically doing something meaningful that will make a difference to a little one in need,” said Ladles of Love Programme Director Yolanda Jones.

Ladles of Love’s Mandela Day events provide volunteer activation stations with all materials supplied to make items to nourish, nurture and grow preschool small children in underserved communities. Organisers said with every R250 ticket purchased, a child will receive two nutritious meals a day, for a month.

Founder and CEO of Ladles of Love, Danny Diliberto said: “Making every day a Mandela Day for small children in need is how we can honour Nelson Mandela’s legacy in 2025 and it starts with us rolling up our sleeves and working together to build a better and brighter future for all children in our country. It’s time to be kind, be a love activist and be the change you want to see in the world.”
